Max’s scheme to murder his wife Janet and enjoy life with his girlfriend is underway, when distant relatives arrive with news that Janet is a beneficiary to a huge fortune.

Coming Apart
by Fred Carmichael
November 20 - December 6, 2008
The marriage of a humor columnist and romance novelist is on the rocks, due to an experiment gone awry, in this delightful romantic comedy.
Frances and Colin continue to live in the same apartment for a six-month waiting period before going their separate ways, and they contemplate their future while recalling very different versions of their past. Directed by Geoffrey King
Tentative Auditions: September 21, 24
Incorruptible
A Dark Comedy about the Dark Ages
March 13 - 28, 2009
Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D., where the Dark Ages are still looking pretty dark. Saint Foy, the patron saint of the local monastery hasn’t worked a miracle in 13 years and the monks are destitute. All seems lost until a larcenous one-eyed minstrel teaches the monks an outrageous new way to pay old debts. This fast-paced farce is irreverent and endearing. Directed by Steve Reden
Tentative Auditions: December, January
Nuts
by Tom Topor
May 15 - 30, 2009
Tentative Auditions: February or March
In this tense courtroom drama, a woman fights for her right to stand trial, rather than be declared mentally incompetent and committed to an institution. The ADULT THEMES, some of them sexual, are moving, thought provoking, and often funny. This Broadway hit was made into a movie starring Barbra Streisand. Directed by Ron Kurtz
Tentative Auditions: February or March
Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks
by Richard Alfieri
July 17 - August 1, 2009
An aging, but still formidable woman hires a cynical dance instructor to give her lessons at her condo in St. Petersburg, Florida. Antagonism between the two gives way to compatibility as they swing dance, tango, foxtrot, and cha-cha in this touching comedy that proves that compassionate friendships can develop between the unlikeliest of people. (ADULT LANGUAGE) Directed by Toni D'Amico
Tentative Auditions: early 2009
